Why I made a Will

Victoria Bell, Head of Advice at Fathom

I am only 41 so why would I need a will? 

Easy - to ensure my children are well taken care of if I’m not around.

I was completely shocked to learn that without a will in place, in the event that both Steven and I were to die, our children could be taken into care and the local authority would decide which of our family members would be best suited to look after them. 

At such a dreadful time families should be together, not apart. So I made a will which outlines who I want to look after our children if the worst happens.

• Having a will in place removes this uncertainty.
• Having a will allows me to choose who looks after my children.
• Having a will in place gives me peace of mind.
